Talking to Billboard about the album, Brett revealed: “It’s self-titled. It’s the most I’ve ever worked on a record, even more than my first album, I think. I think it crushes all my other ones. I feel like I know what I can try and what I can’t — but I probably still will try it. [Laughs] Because I have really special fans and a record label that lets me make what I want to make. I think that it shows in this album, and it’s way more in-depth from a perspective of where I’m at with love and with heartbreak. It’s just another level of my personality and melody and lyric. I’ve never gotten this deep before, and I’m excited to go this deep.”
